Lyrics

Words leave my heart dry

Words fail to express my emotions.

Words can't save life

Communication alone cannot preserve life.

Love has no place here

Love is absent in this situation.

No joy, no tears

No happiness, no sorrow.


Darling, time's changed

Addressing a change in the course of time.

Time leaves, time fades

Time passes, leaving its mark.

Please see through my eyes

Requesting understanding from another's perspective.

Save your tears for the next who dies

Save your grief for the next tragedy.


I shout but he don't hear

Expressing frustration at being unheard.

I put down on a page

Transcribing thoughts onto paper.

Darling spare me your tears

Pleading to be spared from emotional distress.

Just send me the light of day

Desiring the clarity of daylight.


I shout but he don't hear

Repeating the frustration of being ignored.

Just put down on the page

Recording emotions on paper again.

Darling spare me your tears

Requesting to be spared from further distress.

Dear God please send me the light of day

Seeking divine intervention for clarity and understanding.


I can feel his

Sensing someone's emotions.

Gunfire
